Introduction

Most of the features described in this chapter make use of on-screen displays. Navigate these using the cursor buttons and ENTER. To go back one level from any screen, use the RETURN button.

Remember also that the button guide at the bottom of every screen shows which buttons do what.

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to the HDD, DVD discs, Video CDs, Super VCDs, WMA/MP3/ DivX discs and CDs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.

•Many functions are not available when a Video CD is playing in PBC mode. Stop playback, then press for non-PBC playback.

•For discs that contain JPEG picture files, see The PhotoViewer (DVR-640H-AV)on page 115.
